Assessments

All assessments are designed to test the learning outcomes of the CIPS unit content for each unit. Candidates are assessed by an exam for each unit, unless you are granted an exemption.

If you have already booked your exam and would like to enter for more exams, or you to need to re-sit an exam, you can book online or download the relevant enrolment form below.

Enrolment guidelines

Each step of your examination journey, from enrolment to results, is outlined in our Examination Enrolment Guidance. The guidance has relevant timetable information for you and includes dates for enrolment and closure, the exam week and when results will be available. To help you to plan your path through your studies and exams to professionalism, we publish examination timetables a full year in advance every July.

You have three opportunities to take CIPS examinations during the year - May, July, November*. Learners registered with a study centre should first speak to tutors to find out if they intend to offer exams for each session.

Exam weeks vary so please take care when completing your enrolment form. You may enter for as many units as you wish in one sitting, however please check that units are not scheduled to take place at the same time.

Please note, certificates will be posted to successful candidates after result publication. Delivery should be in 6 – 8 weeks.

IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT ADDITIONAL FEESIn addition to the examination fees payable to CIPS at the point of booking, an additional administration fee may be charged by the exam centre. Before completing a booking you should contact the CIPS approved exam centre at which you wish to take your exam. Anyone that hasn't paid the additional required fee may not be able to take the exam and may lose their exam fee.

Please note, certificates will be posted to successful candidates after result publication. Delivery should be in 6 – 8 weeks.
